Especial Correspondence
Mrs. Logan will keep Calumet Place and

uated on the terrace to the north OF the
city on which lies the most beautiful
suburban property at the Capital. The
house was built forty years ago by DR..
Stone, who came to Washington from New
York. He was an engraver on steel, and
secured several fine contracts from the
Government for making the maps Of the
coast survey. When he died his heirs neg
1ectcd the property, and itdecayed rapidly.
The negroes In the neighborhood battered
down the doors and tore up the flooring

Seventh Regiment was the first 10 camp ia
the old house. They called it camp Cam
eron, and made the old place merry for the
month in the spring of 1861 in which they
occupied it. The boys pitched their tents
under the big oaks that surround the man.

An interesting coincidence that General
Logan fought near them in this first great
disaster of the war, having left his seat in
Congress and shOuldered musket as a
private soldier
A few years ago a syndicate of capital
lists bought large tract of land just north
OF the city, and in it was included the stone
property. Senator Sherman, of Ohio, was
enc Of this syndicate. The company has
made, it is said, million dollars already
out Of the investment. A year ago last
spring General Logan began to turn his
attention to the matter Of buying a house
in Washington. He had been reelected to
the Senate, and there was prospect that
during his term real estate would greatly
advance. so that he would lose nothing by
the investment, and would secure
what he and Mrs. Logan had SC
long desired, home of thei1
own. The General owned mortgaged
house in Chicago, and his old homestead
farm in Southern Illinois, but as long as h.
lived in Washington these could be of lit
tie use to him. During all his legislative
career at the capital of the Nation he and
his family had lived in boarding houses
